Harper Kendall’s Wool-Lined Revolution: The Jewellery Packaging That Goes Beyond the Box

At Harper Kendall, we believe luxury doesn’t stop at the jewellery. It continues through every touchpoint, right down to the envelope your piece arrives in.

That’s why we’ve completely reimagined our shipping experience with a groundbreaking innovation:
a premium, highly sustainable shipping envelope made from B2-certified paper, lined with 100% pure wool.
No plastic. No wasteful fillers. Just smart, conscious design that gives back to both the planet and your creativity.

Luxury in Transit, Sustainability at Heart

Typical shipping materials are, frankly, an afterthought, often wasteful, short-lived, and destined for the bin.

But Harper Kendall’s new envelope breaks the mould.

• Outer Layer: Made from responsibly sourced B2-certified paper, our envelope is durable, biodegradable, and carbon-conscious, providing strength without sacrificing elegance.

• Inner Lining: We’ve replaced bubble wrap and foam with a tactile, breathable lining of 100% natural wool — a UK-sourced material that’s soft, secure, and entirely biodegradable.

Together, they create a shipping envelope that’s not just packaging — it’s a statement.

The Wool That Lives On

Here’s where things get exciting. While most protective packaging ends up as waste, our wool lining is designed to be reused. It's surprisingly versatile — and our customers are already finding creative second lives for it.

Some of the ways it’s being reused include:

• Cushioning handmade goods and hobbies, and home projects 

• Pinning boards for jewellery, studs or brooches

• Craft padding for sewing, embroidery, and felting

• Eco-gift wrapping with natural textures

• Even as pet bedding for small animals or wildlife rescue kits

It’s a clever example of sustainable design thinking: when the packaging is finished doing its job, it’s ready for yours.

Why This Matters

In the luxury industry, sustainability can’t just be a footnote — it needs to be designed in.

Our envelope solution:

• Reduces plastic reliance in shipping by 100%

• Offers a compostable and recyclable paper shell

• Encourages creative reuse of wool fibre

• Aligns with growing consumer demand for eco-conscious luxury

• Elevates the unboxing experience with authentic care and craftsmanship

At Harper Kendall, we don’t believe in token gestures. We believe in real-world, scalable sustainability — packaging that feels good in every sense of the word.

Shipping That Speaks Your Values

Receiving jewellery should feel special, and now it feels responsible too.

We’re proud to be one of the first fine jewellery brands in the UK to ship in B2-certified paper envelopes lined with 100% wool. Because true luxury is mindful. And the little details? They’re never little.
